The Official Super Mario Galaxy 2 News Thread

[Tyeforce]

Okay, guys, I cannot stress enough how badly you NEED to watch these four new videos. I posted them before, but they're so so awesome that I want to make sure everyone has seen them. You may want to avoid them if you're trying to avoid spoilers, but even though these videos show off a lot of new footage, it's just the peak of the iceberg, so you'll have plenty of surprised when you play the game yourself. Anyway, this game has my full attention right now. I have Super Mario Galaxy 2 fever, and the wait is driving me crazy!! So, if you haven't seen these videos before, I STRONGLY recommend watching them now. And pay close attention to the music. You'll hear a few familiar tunes, and see some familiar faces, on top of that. ;D

Interesting things worth noting:
- What appears to be a 2D side-scrolling New Super Mario Bros. Wii themed level (likely the introductory level) with Blue Toad and Yellow Toad
- What appears to be a Super Mario Sunshine themed level or two
- A second player will be able to control a Luma to help Mario out

And here are a few translations...

Dear Mario,

Do you fancy watching the shooting stars, whilst eating cake?

I'll be waiting at the castle.

Peach.

This is one more stardust fairytale. Only once in a hundred years does stardust fall on the mushroom kingdom. As such, Peach invites Mario to the castle to watch. On his way over, Mario spots a mysterious light. He cautiously approaches it, and finds... a small, lost baby star. The star - 'Baby Chico' - follows Mario to the castle, but what is waiting for them there is...

Also, this:

It looks like the game will come with some sort of DVD. Well, at least the Japanese version, that is. It's unknown if other countries will get a DVD too or not.</div>

Holy *censored.3.0* that looks amazing!

From the looks of it. An exact copy of the bee level returns.

 

[MrCrazyDavis]

I want this now. I pre-ordered it, it's so awesome.

 

[Micah]

I'm saddened by the lack of a hub world, but the Super Mario Sunshine themed levels sound great.

 

[Yokie]

I hope it's as nice as it looks like.

 

[Thunder]

Niiiiiiice, still a little bummed at the co-op, but by the looks of it, it's a liiiiiiittle improvement.

 

[Rockman!]

Wow, Bowser's huge ...!!!

 

[Micah]

Wow, Bowser's huge ...!!!

He was even bigger in Sunshine.

 

[Conor]

This will probably be the only Wii game I buy this year, looks brilliant.

 

[SilentHopes]

Looks like Nintendo is making the Last Stand happen for the Wii, and they want to make sure they don't screw it up.

 

[Rawburt]

Good eye, Tye :O

But it's not much of a surprise that Bowser captured Peach xD

I wonder if Rosalina's gonna be in SMG2... You wouldn't happen to have any info on that, would ja Tye?

It wasn't my good eye, someone else noticed it and it was posted on GoNintendo. XD

And about Rosalina, apparently it was hinted that she'll return in Nintendo Power.

Never. You have the New Super Mario Bros. Wii pirate to thank for that.





















<small>Nah, I'm just kidding. But you do have to wait until June 10th.</small>
